Burgin, Platner & Co. LLC

About

Burgin, Platner & Co. is a Quincy-rooted independent insurance agency that has served the South Shore for more than 100 years. It handles personal, commercial and financial insurance, with particular expertise in auto, home, business and boat policies. Working with a wide roster of reputable carriers lets the agency shop for coverage on a client’s behalf, putting the customer’s interests ahead of any single insurer, and its reach now extends across the North Shore and Greater Boston as well.

Thomas Burgin, who served as mayor of Quincy and as a Massachusetts congressman, founded the agency in 1925. Nelford Platner came aboard in 1930, and in 1996 the firm merged with The Hurley Agency, another Quincy business, to form the agency as it exists today. The firm takes pride in calling Quincy, birthplace of two presidents, home. Agents guide clients from selecting coverage through filing claims and revisit plans when homes, families or businesses change.
